Hands across the water is a boutique charity supporting orphans of victims of the Boxing Day tsunami in Thailand. It provides children and those in need with a caring and educational environment; allowing them to learn and expand their opportunities, empowering them to unite with the community.

Stu Freeman of ProMag Publishing below does voluntary work in an orphanage in Yasothon, Thailand in November 2010. Fifty New Zealanders and Australians spent time at the orphanage to help make life much more comfortable for children with HIV who have been living in marginal conditions.

Kelly Hutchins of Applicance Connexion and Greg Sandrey of Sony are cycling from Bangkok to Khao Lak in January as part of the Hands Across the Water charity bike ride, supporting victims of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami.  Help Kelly and Greg reach their combined target of A$20,000.00 by clicking on the banner below.
